Doesn’t it feel like it has a weird digital look compared to Band Of Brothers? Feels like it has been color corrected to death, while BoB had a beautiful rugged film photography.
Damn, I will definitely watch this but I was hoping it would be more Band of Brothers-esque. This looks like the movie Greyhound but with planes instead of ships. I’m sure it will still be good.
I’m sad to say, but I’m not keen on how this looks so far. I’m hoping it’s just a hollywoodised trailer to appeal to the masses, but it feels a far cry from the grittiness of BoB. The colour palette, cheap dialogue, and focus on one character with film star looks doesn’t give me a lot of hope tbh.
I think people need to prepare for this to not be as good as Band of Brothers or the Pacific. In that trailer there were way too many hero speeches and hero moments for this to feel authentic. I feel like it will be closer to Pearl Harbor than it will the other two.
At no point did Major Winters or Sledgehammer gather the troops and give some win one for the gipper speech in their respective works. The heroic moments were all so small and done so matter of factly. Even Winters’ single man bayonet charge into a division of German soldiers wasn’t preceded by some overly dramatic monologue or exchanges. He reached a logical but dangerous conclusion and he carried out the order.
With all the pretty movie stars in this trying to win an Emmy there’s no way they’d let a scene like that escape without trying to chew it up and show off some acting chops. I also doubt they let themselves portray nuanced characters. Some of the most respected and admired characters from BoB and TP did horrendous things. Killing POWs, mutilating bodies, racial slurs, and just absolute callousness towards humanity life and the ending of it. How likely is it we see a major character played by a movie star do something detestable?
I hope it’s better than I’m expecting but I think they’d be better off not reminding everyone of Band of Brothers and The Pacific and setting themselves up for direct comparisons.
Literally been waiting on this since it was announced what feels like decades ago. If it’s as good as the Pacific I’ll be very happy, if it’s as good as Band of Brothers I’ll be in ecstasy.
Super excited to see this and see the portrayal of Black WW2 pilots. I loved Band of Brothers but have not seen the Pacific yet due to hearing it was a lot more gorier (feel free to correct me if this is not the case).
It was first rumoured back in 2012, then dead in the water for so long, then the pandemic hit – it’s amazing it’s actually happening and it looks so good, I can’t wait.
Getting more Pearl Harbor than Band of Brothers from this trailer. Hopefully it’s just poor marketing and they haven’t gone patriotic war glory bullshit over the veneration and respect the last 2 series had.
To those comparing the colors to Band of Brothers, I feel the earthy tones worked for BoB and love the vibrant colors, especially the blues of the sky in Masters of the Air. Just beautiful.
Looks good. A long time coming.
He’s really just keeping that Elvis voice forever
Feels like it’s been 10 years since this was announced. Good things come to those who wait I guess.
I’ll never get over how good effects have come in the last ten twenty years especially for tv shows.
Like not to discount what tv used to look like but jeez it’s crazy
The trilogy is complete.
cary fukunaga, im in

Apple TV is my favorite streaming platform for original shows now.
I say this as a hetero man. Austin Butler is so pretty here it’s distracting

Ouch, so much cliche phrases it hurts. And overall, the trailer seems to shiny and polished for a war movie.
HOOK THIS SHIT UP TO MY VEINS
This looks really insane, like production wise, cinematography and visuals, acting, etc.
Looks too fucking good
i was a massive fan of Memphis Belle when i was in grade school, so yes i’m very excited for this new WW2 followup from Tom and Steven.
You know that petty complaint about Kristen Stewart having her mouth slightly open? Well now there’s Austin Butler
Making the CGI Parts look like a painting is kinda weird.
This looks way too dramatic and action movie-ish imo. But we’ll see

Damn this just completely killed my hype. Looks like a shitty Michael Bay film.
Now do the Navy in the Pacific!
Austin Butler is an excellent actor. Excited for this.
Looks smooth and shiney and fake as hell.
it doesn’t look that great, looks like an action over the top hollywood flick. i hope it’s more *down to earth* than it seem
pun intended

As a huge BoB fan and a complete aeronautical nerd… This just made my day.
it’s giving me Midway vibes, you know, that movie where Woody Harrelson looks like a Team Fortress 2 character
I hope they get the scale right. These bombing raids included thousands of aircraft on both sides

I’m shocked this exists.

Been waiting forever for this show!
